Go to YouTube. Look up "Desert dog outdoors" watch the reloading videos.

My personal bias having owned a heavy double rifle, a light double rifle and many fine double shotguns- if you just want a 3 barrel set go ahead and find a way to make it happen. I would way rather have a purpose built heavy rifle, a purpose built light rifle and a purpose built double...

Don't buy a Bugatti and take it to Jiffy Lube. If you take your Patek to the watch battery guy at the mall, you're gonna be sorry.

Drilling and tapping that receiver will devalue the gun more than the cost of the appropriate mounts. The type of gunsmith that would accept the job of drilling and tapping that receiver is the type of gunsmith not qualified to do it. Get the correct mounts

A lot of interesting discussion...im no expert but ive seen a lot of animals shot with rifles. Having watched a lot of people who claim to be longrange animal assassins shoot in field conditions (some who are "famous"/influencers) I find that most cant shoot for shit. 90+ % of hunters in the...

Yes I had great service from the Nikon Monarach African scopes. Too bad they are gone and bo customer service

That is really strange. I have 1x6 trijicon creedos on my 416 rigby, 416 rm and my way too light 458wm browning and have hammered them with no issues. The old steel tube leupolds I think were durable glass but the new stuff..not so much. This is really the first Ive ever heard of issues with...

I have given up on lightweight scopes. For me durability and reliability are more important than weight. Nightforce or Trijicon are, in my humble opinion, the best options for hunting rifle glads and neither are known for being light. Deal with wandering zeros or, worse, wound an animal because...

These numbers are rough but lets say 3-4% of people in North America eat Venison regularly and in highly impacted areas about 30% of the deer have cwd. Thats a lot of CWD deer numerically but very very few epidemiologically. Most people eating venison are probably not eating CWD positive...

This is a very polarizing topic. Nobody really wants to believe that we might not be able to eat the deer/elk/pigs we kill. Every department of natural resources in the country hopes this never becomes a reality. the entire sport hunting industry hopes this never becomes a reality. Millions of...

Prions are not destroyed by cooking and they are highly transmissible. Prions really came to light in the scientific community when it was discovered in the brains of the Fore people who were suffering from the degenerative neurological disease called Kuru. The Fore were cannibalistic and would...

Im going to just say- many PHs have had long careers with BRNO, CZ and Model 70 winchester rifles. These rifles can be had for under $2000. I think that once you get above this price point you are doing it out of want not need. You are just buying pretty wood, nicer finish or a famous name...
